His game is evolving nicely, in-particular his ability to knock in open looks from beyond the arc. He’s able to get into the lane where he sometimes will look for a shot when he should kick to an open teammate. His ball-handling is a strength, and he is a steady orchestrator of the offense.
2017 Ethan Lewis, Boone, 5’10 G
The Boone product can play either guard position effectively, and is a natural scorer — he’s the leading returning scorer for the Toreadors. He’s quick enough to get by defenders, and has a quick and smooth stroke from 3. Look for him to improve upon last season’s 30 percent clip from beyond the arc.
2016 Riley Maschino, Spencer, 6’1 SG
Last season was his first playing with Spencer, and it would appear he’s fully transitioned. He was starting with the Tigers at times on Saturday, and is a more-than-capable role player with a sweet stroke, who can get hot from beyond the arc. We expect Maschino to be the X-factor in Spencer this season.
2019 Rashon Ivory, Perry, 5’10 G
The younger brother of one of 2016’s best prospects Shammond, Rashon is still developing physically, but certainly has the same passion and knack for the game as his older brother. Rashon is very active defensively, and came away with a slew of steals on Saturday, simply by jumping passing lanes well.
2018 Rhett Darland, Clarion-Goldfield, 6’2 SG
Darland is a natural scorer, most notably a 3-point specialist. He’s got a sweet stroke from deep, and shoots it with precision — even his misses are narrow misfires. He’s athletic, and can handle the ball well for an off-guard. Athleticism and effort make him an effective defender as well.
2016 Aaron Klinge, Panorama, 5’11 G
As steady as they come. Klinge is a self-identified shooting guard, but is capable of playing point guard if need be. He’s a top-notch shooter, and a plus ball-handler. A cerebral player, he’s savvy on the floor. He’d be a great addition to any Division III or NAIA program.
